| Abstract: | This article analyses the effect of ethics instruction and personality on undergraduate students' perceptions regarding cheating. A study with a sample of 230 upper-level undergraduate students was conducted, and the results indicated that a business ethics course alone had no significant influence on views regarding cheating. Students that had taken a business ethics course and scored low on Machiavellianism or had high grade point averages (GPAs), however, were less accepting of different forms of cheating than those who did not take the course, but either had a similar GPA or scored similarly on Machiavellianism. |
